T & J Landscaping Services

This company did the Diamond Peak homes in St. John. Take a ride over there and see for yourself. You will notice some lawns look really nice and some are just awful - weeds, dead grass, spots not growing. T&J graded some lawns properly and many others just either sprayed seed over or laid down sod. No proper grading. Believe me I have pictures and videos at over 5 houses around me they did. ALL DIFFERENT!!!! I understand some pay extra for sod, but this is just the basics of grading. They rushed and didnt care. Its amazing watching all these houses lawn being done so different by the same company. They grade some so nice and others like I said keep it uneven surface and just throw seed down. I WOULD NOT EVER USE THEM!

Well, let's see...I'll start with the sod: First they laid sod on adjoining property which does not belong to us without our permission and then they had the nerve to charge us extra for that! Next, a section of sod in the back yard never took despite regular waterings from our in-ground sprinkler system - this was most likely due to the improper way the grade was prepared or lack thereof. No black dirt was used; they said it wouldn't be necessary - even over clay?? When we looked under the sod when it was first laid we saw big dirt/clay clods, not finely pulverized soil. After finally threatening them with legal action, they replaced the dying area of sod, however these "professionals" managed to sever our internet cable line and then left the job without telling anyone. They refused our request for assistance to bury a new line despite finally admitting that they were at fault. Invoices to repair/re-bury the new line were sent to them for reimbursement ( a whopping $75) and we are still waiting on a check. Oh, and they also sodded over all of our downspout extension drains. Very small plants were used in the planting beds. A lot of these were also wilted and looked like they might be diseased. No surprise that a substantial amount of plantings died by the first spring. Getting replacement plants under their "warranty" was a hassle to say the least. Replacement plants were also wilted and looked diseased and many soon died after planting. To this day, there are still dead plants, which they have ignored. One area of bed was completely void of any landscape fabric , and consequently, we had weeds galore in this area. The rock they used for ground cover in the beds was so sparsely used that many areas of landscape fabric could be seen through the rock. After we complained about this, and after much more hassle, they reluctantly brought out more rock, however the size of the new rock was substantially bigger than the original and everywhere they placed additional rock was noticeable. We requested that they come back to rake the stone in to make it blend better, but as we came to expect they never came back. It has been a most unpleasant experience dealing with T&J Landscaping and their foreman, Dave. They never called once to say that there coming that day...they would just show up unannounced. Never once received a call from the owner. I guess we'll have to pursue this by other means. Good luck??!!

When we finally found a day that the gutter-cleaning could be performed, the provider insisted I pay in cash (this had NEVER been brought up the previous days we had tried to schedule the services.) When I told him I would not have time to stop and get cash before rushing home from work to meet him, he cancelled and called me an a**hole.

I found them through word of mouth.
